Upper and Lower Limb intro Flashcards
what is the pectoral girdle
clavicle and scapula and the muscles attached to these bones
what is the arm
region between shoulder and elbow joint
what is the forearm
between elbow and wrist
what is the hand
distal to the wrist
what is the glenohumeral joint, what is it formed by and type of joint
shoulder joint
articulation between scapula nd proximal humerus
synovial ball and socket
type of elbow joint, what bones articulate and what type of movement does this allow
synovial hinge joint
articulation of distal humerus with ulna and radius
flexion and extension
proximal and distal radioulnar joitns
proximal and distal radioulnar joints
between what and what is the action
radius and ulnar
pronation and supination
radiocarpal joints alternative name, bones forming it and movement
wrist joint
articulation of distal radius, scaphoid and lunate
flexion, extension, adduction and abduction
what does the scapula do during normal movement of the shoulder joint
movement of the scapula over the chest wall
actions of the pectoral girdle (5) and how is the scapula involved in two of them
protraction (scapula anteriorly)
retraction (scapula posteriorly)
elevation, depression and rotation
actions of the shoulder joint (7)
flexion extension abduction adduction medial rotation lateral rotation circumduction
what r movements of the shoulder always accompanied by
movement of scapula on chest wall
what happens when we raise our upper limbs
scapula rotates
action of elbow joint
flexion and extension
action of wrist joint
flexion, extension
adduction, abduction
actions of 4 digits (not the thumb)
flexion, extension
adduction, abduction
action of radioulnar joints
pronation and supination
what is the pelvis made of (3)
two hip bones and the sacrum
what is the thigh
between hip and knee joints
what is the bone of the thigh
femur
what is the the leg
between knee and ankle joint
what r the bones of the leg
tibia and fibula
what is the foot
distal to the ankle
what r the two surfaces of the foot
palmar (sole) and dorsal (top)
hip joint
movement (6) , type of joint, articulation
flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, medial and lateral rotation

synovial hinge joint
articulation between distal femur and tibia
ankle joint
movement, type of joint, articulation
flexion and extension/ plantarflexion and dorsiflexion
synovial hinge joitn
articulation between distal end of tibia and fibula with talus
action of toes
